I have nothing against Duma Ndlovu, but I am slowly losing interest in uzalo, this thing of Mangcobo faking DNA results makes things worse. I wish Generation may claim their number spot! Muvhango on the other hand with the whore Imani and that fool Ranthu, Lost interest long time ago. Skeem Saam remains my favourite! Forever and ever!!!

Zabalaza and the road are not doing well at all, i live these 2 shows. They are not bad and i still think they shld stick to the 60s and old themba and zwelakhes first wife lead the narrations.

TVSA has the road been canned too, have bn looking for the road teasers for december but nowhere. Or they are resurrecting zwelakhe ??

zuva, there's no Zwelakhe but there's another murder.

The teasers weren't available last week but they are now. We've published them here: The Road Teasers - December 2015

These are figures for both shows in this week:

The Road: 111,000
Zabalaza: 168,000

At this predicament, I doubt The Road will get another season. I am very disappointed though. This serial has great potential, but its two plots are jeopardizing it.

Thanks TVSA, the figures are terrible maybe they shld also avail the show to other lower packaged. Love the storyline though and the 60s music and fashion and the vibe. Let me read the teasers. Thanks

HIGH ROLLERS! Such an amazing show. It's a pity that it plays at the same time as an established show such as Scandal. I hope another season is in the pipeline. Great cast it has.

Actually Show-Time, high rollers used to be on at a different time slot and it aired once a week,the numbers were not spectacular. I guess they thought it would fair better against Scandal, these are interesting on Scandal and it stands no chance, they should try something. It says something about the chanel when your biggest regular show is not a locally produced show. etv has put in some work, the numbers did not happen overnight. So, SABC 3 needs to put some work.
